Tweets from May 1st Marches

On May 1st people took to the streets again to peacefully demonstrate on behalf of immigration reform. I participated in the march in real life in DC as well as through the twitterverse.  Below is my twitter stream with selected tweets from the marches across the US.  I am also working on a piece for YES! that should be online in the coming days.
